Tried your advise, but sad to say that nothing seems to have changed. here is the console readout:

After this i rebooted the Pi. In LMS log the error is exactly the same.
Whats next?

Oh my, looking at the error it says a file is missing check the folder to see if it is really missing. If it is not then it might be permission. If it is not then you might need to reinstall the plugin or confirm that the helper binary and processor type you are using matches your architecture

Slow Response on Picoreplayer Raspberry Pi based LMS

Just curious if anyone else using a Picoreplayer based LMS on a Raspberry Pi3 sees a significant lag in response with the ShareTunes2W plugin enabled. My LMS would sometimes take up to a minute or more to respond to command requests (ie playing Pandora stations or playing local files). Sometimes the music would stop playing and resume a minute or two later.

I only use Shairtunes2W and the Youtube plugins from the third party options and removing the Shairtunes2W plugin restores my LMS to it's usual responsive self. Pandora songs now finish before moving to the next song (before they would sometimes not finish and jump to the next song) and I can quickly access and play my local NAS served collection. I don't think this was an issue on the older versions of the plugin from a few months ago.

FYI, the plugin itself would usually function to stream from an Iphone (I used it for SiriusXM), however, it also would sometimes suffer from the same lag and would frequently stop altogether requiring restarting the airplay stream from the Iphone. When these lags would occur, access to LMS via the Web Browser or OrangeSqueeze in Android could take up to a minute or more.

iOS 11

Hi all,

Wondered if people are using this with iOS 11? It worked fine until I updated to iOS 11. It will play a song however when I try to skip it wonĺt reconnect. Logs can be sent however I have tried Rowe two different iPhones on iOS 11 and both behave the same way.

Rebuilding LMS fixed my issue

Hi Philippe,

I thought removing ShairTunes2W fixed my problem but it reoccurred without it. Basically, my LMS became unresponsive for few seconds up to a minute. Running TOP showed nothing unusual but the net effect was to restart one of my "synced" players causing the song to skip to the next one (either local songs on my NAS or via mysqueezenetwork for Pandora). I worked on trying to pin down network issues, errant processes, and any number of other causes without success (such as power supplies and SD cards).

Finally, I started from scratch and reimaged a new SD card with Picoreplayer and downloaded LMS, manually configuring both. This seems to have fixed my issue. I ran 4 synced picoreplayer based Pi's (2 wired and 2 wifi with one of the wired also hosting LMS) playing Pandora for a couple of hours with no skips or LMS hangups. I then added Shairtunes2W and have been playing it for the last couple of hours (streaming SiriusXM from an Iphone 5S).

Except for the usual weirdness (my first attempt producing no sound and the occasional 2-5 second interruption), I've not experienced the problems I had before. When LMS would hangup, Shairtunes2W would lose the stream and go silent every few minutes.

Wish I could pinpoint the exact issue, but I don't think it was Shairtunes2W. I apologize for implying that your plugin may have been the culprit. Thanks for all your work.
